M8 by Telmap gets a Wallace and Gromit based update

M8 by Telmap is a free Sat Nav, mapping and local places app for Android. It lets you do everything that you’d expect from a mapping app but with a more point of interest orientated slant.

They are having a Summer promotion for the in app purchases.
